    I'm developing a multiplayer game using AWS game lift. game lift is working fine for android and iOS but when i'm running the game in webgl, getting socket exception:


    SocketException: Success
    at System.Net.Sockets.Socket..ctor (System.Net.Sockets.AddressFamily addressFamily, System.Net.Sockets.SocketType socketType, System.Net.Sockets.ProtocolType protocolType) [0x00000] in <00000000000000000000000000000000>:0

    (Filename: currently not available on il2cpp Line: -1)


    can anyone help?

    Does Gamelift support WebGL? From a quick search of their documentation they say it uses UDP and TCP, but WebGL can only use Websockets. The only mention of Websockets in docs I saw was just for encrypted data. This isn't a Unity limitation, but a platform limitation (imposed by the browser).

    WebGL isn't on there list of supported platforms, and isn't anywhere in their documentation that a quick search could find, so I would assume they do not support WebGL. But that's just my guess.

    Hey! Just wanted to check in on this. Did you happen to past this socket error in WebGL?

    Currently experiencing this even though gamelift states they utilize dtls which should work over webgl
